Chapter 66 Engagement
Wenyi smiled: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have been thinking about the Xiao family for a long time, and I will definitely train them well in the future!"
Li Shimin continued: "Xiao Yi, I already know the general plan. Tell me about Heisong Village. I always feel that this village is very different from other villages."
Wenyi replied: "I designed this village. Every household is a two-story building, and the land utilization rate is very high.
Moreover, the whole village is planned as a whole, so it looks very beautiful and orderly, just from the outside.
Secondly, with the help of His Highness, every family now has surplus food and work to do.
All the men work in engineering teams, all the women grow vegetables in the fields, all the children attend schools, and there are nursing homes to support the elderly.
That is to say: you will be rewarded for your work, you will be taught when you learn, and you will be provided for when you are old.
Everyone can see a bright future, so the atmosphere will get better and better.
And the people in other places are still in a state of having no food left at home, how can they compare with Heisong Village?"
Li Shimin thought for a long time, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and he sighed and said: "It seems that the Tang Dynasty still has a long way to go. There are many wastes waiting to be done. It's difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"
Wenyi did not expect that Li Shimin would also be depressed, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I divide the living standards of the people into three levels. The first is poverty, which is the current living conditions of the people in the Tang Dynasty. It is difficult to eat and clothe; the second is poverty."
The first is food and clothing, which means having food and clothing, and having enough food for the family. Heisong Village is currently at this level; the third is well-off, which means being able to be satisfied in material terms and having leisure and funds for entertainment.
I believe that only when everyone in the world is well-off can we be considered a truly wise king."
After hearing this, Li Shimin felt even more powerless and said angrily: "According to what you say about Emperor Qin, even Han Wu is not a wise king?"
Wenyi nodded and said: "Emperor Qin, the achievements of Hanwu are indelible, but only when there is comparison can there be pursuit. Is it considered a success as long as we reach their level?
Can't we surpass them?
If we just pursue national unification, expel the Tartars, and recuperate, isn't this too simple?
Since what I want to do must be the best in the past and present, I can do what my predecessors have not done, and future generations who have done it may not be able to do it. This is what a wise king should pursue!"
Li Shimin suddenly woke up! He had been thinking about how to be an emperor like Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han. At first glance, he was a little discouraged when he heard that they were not considered wise emperors in the eyes of literature and art. He did not expect that literature and art's pursuit was transcendence! That's right.
, the Tang Dynasty has been unified, the Turks have been defeated, and the rental modulation has also played a good role in recuperating, but this is all the result of the father, what can I do if I continue to do this?
Moreover, following the steps is not in line with his personality! Li Shimin slapped the coffee table and said: "It is true. If you don't surpass your predecessors, how can you leave a name in history?
Xiaoyi, please tell me about the situation in the village."
Seeing that Li Shimin had regained his former glory, Wenyi continued to talk about the specific situation of Heisong Village, including the wonderful use of the production team.
Changsun and Shuer were bored by what they were listening to, so they quietly left the study and wandered around the village.
He only had two guards with him.
It is absolutely safe in the village. This is a guarantee for Wen Yi's confidence. Li Shimin also agrees, so most of the guards arranged to rest. Wen Yi also quietly told them that there are many women here, and if they can get married here, they will
Perfect! But this group of singles was so excited that after disbanding, they instantly dispersed. They began to search for targets in the village in twos and threes. You will definitely not use force. This is a prohibition in the special team code. No one dares to violate it.
.
Li Shimin and Wenyi chatted in the study for an unknown amount of time, and they stopped talking until Changsun and Shuer brought them wine and food.
The eldest grandson smiled and said: "You two, we are here for a vacation, but you talked about business again, and Shu'er became angry!"
Li Shimin laughed and said, "I can't help it. We know we were wrong and we promise to have fun with you two from tomorrow on!"
Wenyi laughed dryly and did not dare to speak. Shuer glared at him fiercely, handed the chopsticks to Li Shimin and Changsun, and then deliberately left him aside.
The eldest grandson saw it funny, got another pair for Wenyi and joked: "Xiaoyi is fourteen, right?"
You can tie your hair next year, and then you can get married. I wonder if you have a girl you like?"
Unexpectedly, the future Empress Changsun, who will be the mother of the world, loves to hold red strings so much.
How can such a simple question stump literature and art?
Wenyi immediately said: "The princess is joking, I'm still young and haven't thought about it yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze directed at him. Wen Yi secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong, he had missed Shu'er! The little girl couldn't offend him, and besides, he definitely couldn't escape from her grasp. When his heart suddenly changed, he immediately changed his mind.
He said: "That was just a polite comment. Since the princess asked, I have to tell the truth. In fact, the girl I like is Princess Shu'er. Your Highness and the princess please make it happen!"
After speaking, he immediately and solemnly bowed to Li Shimin and his eldest grandson as juniors.
Shuer's anger disappeared immediately, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she wanted to get under the table, but she was worried that her uncle and aunt wouldn't agree, so she bit the bullet and eavesdropped from the side.
The princess smiled and said: "Well, my Shu'er is still young, so she doesn't know about these grown-up things. How about I help you find some ladies of your age next year for you to get to know?"
Before Wen Yi could say anything, Shu'er was the first to quit, and immediately looked at the princess with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved, which made the princess happy.
Li Shimin felt distressed and said, "Okay, Maid Guanyin, please stop bullying Shu'er. Look, Shu'er is almost crying.
These two children have been together for several years, and I am very satisfied with Xiaoyi. Let’s settle the matter today. Xiaoyi, please don’t call me your highness in the future. Just call me uncle like Shuer.”
Shuer's face turned red from embarrassment again, she stamped her feet coquettishly, ran up to the second floor and hid in her room, not daring to come out.
Literature and Art couldn't run away, so they had to bite the bullet and bow and agree.
The first actor's marriage was finalized, and the rest was a matter of time and customs... After dinner, they chatted and laughed and went for a walk in the village.
Li Shimin looked at the lights on in every house and suddenly asked: "Xiaoyi, does everyone in the village have electricity?"
Why didn’t I see the wire?”
Wenyi nodded and said: "During the construction, the cables were buried underground in advance to make it easier for pedestrians to walk on the road.
The whole village's electricity is pulled from the sub-base.
The cost is extremely low and it is very convenient to use.”
Li Shimin asked again: "What about water?
Why didn’t I see the well?”
Wenyi pointed to a tall tower in the distance behind the village and replied: "That is a water tower. There is a small river next to it. The water is first pumped to the water tower with a pump, and then filtered and then sent directly to each household through pipes. This will
It’s a lot more convenient.”
...Li Shimin and his eldest grandson walked around and turned into curious babies. They asked questions wherever they went, and even visited villagers' homes when they got interested.
Wen Yi was sweating profusely, and finally returned to the villa. The couple had not yet finished their fun, wandering around the villa, not missing any corner, and immediately asked Wen Yi if there were any new things.
It wasn't until a bell sounded in the distance that the two of them stopped. Li Shimin asked again: "What time is it now?"
Why are you ringing the bell now?”
Wenyi replied: "It's Hai hour now. This is the time to go to bed. There is a wall clock in my uncle's bedroom and study room, which is specially used to tell the time. You can also adjust the alarm clock, which means preset a reminder to remind you.
time."
Changsun said: "This is interesting, Xiaoyi will take us to see it quickly."
The spirit of literature and art that sent Buddha to the West took the two to their bedroom and handed them how to use modern items such as clocks, showers, toilets, etc. one by one.
Li Shimin looked at the wall clock and sighed: "This is a good thing, but it's a bit big. It would be nice if it could be smaller to carry around."
Wenyi smiled and said: "Uncle is really good at knowing things. You and your aunt are already making watches. The parts in the watches are too fine. At present, there is only one person in the hope who has the ability to make such parts, so it will take a long time. Wait for us
It should be ready when we return to Chang'an."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let's get here first today. Xiaoyi, you have been tired for a long day, so go back and rest quickly."
Wenyi finally waited for these words, and immediately bowed and saluted and said: "Uncle, good night, aunt! My nephew is leaving!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, and literature and art shot out like a rocket.
It made the eldest grandson chuckle.
Li Shimin waved away the maid again, turned on Wenyi's special gramophone, listened to the soothing music, and pulled his eldest grandson into the bathroom with a squinted face... It was another sunny day, Wenyi was now a person with status, so naturally he could no longer
I slept in, so I got up early and tidied myself up, wearing a white T-shirt, denim trousers, and a pair of sneakers.
A true time-traveler, but in the village people wear clothes prepared by literature and art. Suits, work clothes, and underwear are all designed in modern styles, so only here can literature and art be dressed freely without looking so unusual.
Wenyi asked Wen Erba to get some sets of clothes specially made for Li Shimin, his wife and Shu'er. The two of them came to Li Shimin's villa leisurely. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was already exercising in the small courtyard.
He quickly came forward to salute and greet.
After Li Shimin finished a sword dance, he walked over to Wen Yi, looked at Wen Yi's outfit, and then looked at his own clothes. He felt uncomfortable all over for a moment.
Wen Yi very wisely took a box from Wen Erba and said to Li Shimin: "Uncle, here is a set of casual clothes. You can try it on to see if it fits."
Then he gave another set to the maid next to him and said: "This belongs to my aunt. The way to wear it is very simple. You can take it in and let my aunt try it on."
Li Shimin was even more satisfied with his niece-in-law. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shu'er's room is on the west side of the second floor."
Chapter completed!
